Next Steps

As we continue evolving the Kubernights Homelab, the journey is far from over. Here's a glimpse into the upcoming milestones and improvements we have in mind:

If you have an idea for my homelab feel free to sendme an email to admin@kubernights.com

📦 Infrastructure & Databases​

  • Deploy MongoDB cluster inside Kubernetes or in Atlas through terraform.
  • Deploy PostgreSQL cluster with high availability.

🔐 Identity and Access Management​

  • Install and configure Keycloak for centralized authentication (OAuth2 / OpenID Connect).
  • Integrate Keycloak with internal apps and services for Single Sign-On (SSO).

🌉 API Gateway and Management​

  • Deploy Gravitee.io as API Gateway and API Manager.
  • Manage internal APIs securely with authentication and quotas.

🛡️ Security Enhancements​

  • Integrate external-secrets with Kubernetes to synchronize secrets from secure backends.
  • Improve certificate management and secret rotation automation.
  • Hardening Kubernetes RBAC policies.

📈 Observability and Monitoring​

  • Enhance monitoring stack with:
    • Detailed dashboarding (Grafana custom dashboards).
    • Better alerting rules (Prometheus Alertmanager).
    • Log aggregation improvements (Loki, Fluent Bit).

🚀 Automation and Scalability​

  • Expand Infrastructure as Code modules (Terraform/Terragrunt) to support:
    • Database deployments.
    • Secret backends.
    • Multi-cluster setups.
  • Improve GitOps pipelines to manage more resources declaratively.

Stay tuned. Each step forward brings us closer to a fully autonomous, production-grade cloud at home.
